Clammoring over Gen Y! Creating difficult behavior and toxic people for Gen X and the Boomers?

I've received excellent input on dealing with Generation Y and the effects of them in business and leadership. The entire issue of becoming a difficult person because of generational differences is amazing. Not to mention that the problems of professional and personal development can be derailed when people have conflict and create toxic people.

I do think the reason the Generation Y´s are getting so much attention is because there are so many of them, we have over 94% employment rate, the Boomers are retiring and the X´ers have fit in so well and are doing such a great job that the attention never was about them! Y´s ARE different and if businesses today want to succeed with their contingency plans, succession planning and growing their profits they must pay attention.

There is a wide range of perspectives. USA Today says that Generation Y is looking for "Fame and Making Money." One of the posts/emails said that they do not bring difficult behavior, are easy to work with and add a new dimension to the work place because of their mastery of using technology as a resource. In my opinion, this positive attitude approach will encourage workplace excellence and profits better than a negative perspective.
